They will receive intensive assistances from Freedom House Advocates during their stay, so they can achieve self-sufficiency. Families will be able to stay in their apartments while working on their plan for up to 2 years. Transitional Housing usually is needed after emergency shelter. These four, fully furnished apartments have been decorated by items donated by the community. Parker County’s ZONTA club took on one of the apartments and it is especially warm and welcoming.
